Stanley and Kaisa Breeden capture rainforest magic in macro in Rainforest Country

STANLEY and Kaisa Breeden have crawled, waited in the mud for hours and battled ticks, wind, rain and leeches.

But it's all been worth it for their stunning masterpiece, Rainforest Country.

The magic of the rainforest comes to the couple daily at their Far North Queensland home, The Cairns Post reports. The award-winning nature writers and digital photographers experience creatures of the tropics literally on their doorstep.

“We are very fortunate that we live near a large block of rainforest that is very diverse, and sometimes when you go outside, an insect can just land on you,” says Stanley Breeden, a writer, photographer and filmmaker for 40 years.
